Footnotes

A METAL-THREAD AND SILK CHITIPATI CARPET
LATE QING DYNASTY, 20TH CENTURY

清晚期 二十世紀 絲絨繡金屬線掛毯

Dancing wildly on a lotus platform are the skeletal figures of Shri Shmashana Adhipati, who are enclosed within a circle of flames and a bone pavilion located in the carpet's upper register.

While the separate use of silk pile and metal thread brocade did appear on earlier Kashgar carpets in Xinjiang, the mixture of both mediums into a single item was a feature that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century in Beijing.

Provenance:
Art market, 1980s
